shoulda hit nia with the breifcase more IMO

Agreed on this, when she only really hit her in the arm with it I assumed she was going to armbar her to taunt Ronda

I liked Ronda a lot there. What didn't look good per se, at least looked genuine. It was sloppy in a good way. Nia did her usual power moves but is already far behind Ronda in teams of selling.

I don't know how Alexa Bliss can meaningfully get heat against Ronda Rousey though, I mean that's her problem against normal women's wrestlers

Carmella held her own against Asuka and ended up beating her clean, so.... :shrug:

Why do they swap announcers so frequently? Is this a common thing?

That was fantastic. Totally what Bliss should do, excellent way to end Nia and Rousey without Rousey getting beat or becoming champ too soon, and some continuity.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Probably mistakenly lost in the postmatch is that Ronda was VERY GOOD in her first singles match.
I really hope she starts wrestling a regular schedule now, she really is excellent.

It’s a specific gymnastics move, though I assume in that you land on your feet.

Also it wasn't onscreen too long, but I loving loved the visual when Nia's fingers separated and for just a second she was staring in helpless terror up at Ronda who had the most amazing devil-face as she drank in the moment before locking in the armbar.

Carmella better just be a belt pillow, leading to Charlotte as a sensible first feud option for Asuka and then something good like a Becky feud.

I'm positive there was a promo by The Deleters where they specifically mentioned the PPV, but maybe my mind just filled in the blanks. Regardless, it's loving stupid for it to NOT be on the show, especially considering it's a 4 hour show.

So here's a flaw in MITB:

Suppose a Raw guy wins.

Suppose after winning, he IMMEDIATELY says "I'm cashing in my MITB contract RIGHT NOW"

Well Brock's not there so what then?
